Paul Schulte Lays Foundation For University Vocal Library Records Of Famous Talks Are Filed In Albums By Local Radio Man By BERYL SHOENFIELD A vocal "library" is visualized by Paul Schulte, local recording genius, who dreams of the day when students will be able to look up in the card catalogue Willkie, Wendell L. oi Ruthven, Alexander G. and draw out the recordings to play and contem-. plate. Since this blond young mikeman installed his recording equipment three years ago, neatly encased in its airplane luggage jacket, he has been making albums for his library of the future. Utilizing the radio to new and profitable advantage, Schulte has been recording for posterity- and for sale-broadcasts by President Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie, and those of other notables destined for a spot in history texts. Schulte follows Morris Hall's ex- technician Charles Moore in making albums on campus functions, which will probably be of value to the Uni- versity someday, for both academic and sentimental reasons. Experts consider outstanding among the al- bums one of "Hurry-up" Yost's fare- well banquet. Other good ones, they claim, include the Choral Union's "Messiah" concert, Play Production performances, and J-Hop. At present Schulte is negotiating for a faculty library, in which he, hopes to place the voices of all the Hopwood Notes According to Mary E. Cooley, host- ess of the Hopwood Room, the fresh- man Hopwood competition of 1942 promises to be the largest so far, if the number of aspirants examin- ing prize manuscripts on file is any gauge of it. Despite the deadline being moved up four days to correspond with an accelerated University routine, fresh- men are putting the finishing touches on their papers, in preparation for the contest. The usual cash awards of $50, $30 and $20 in the fields of essay, prose- narrative and poetry are offered. Par- ticulars on eligibility and contest specifications may be found in a pamphlet available in the Hopwood Room. University's outstanding men, a sort of living memorial to their work. There are the more usual record- ing duties, too. Schulte "cans" on re- quest voices of School of Music stu- dents so that they may listen to their own warbling and note spots for im- provement. And he makes little six inchers for speech majors, who send these to broadcasting studios as their auditions. Schulte is not immune to difficul- ties, however. His apartment "stu- dio," practically on top of the Car- illon tower, trembles when the bells chime, and he must time his record- ings so that the vigorous tolling every 15 minutes will not record. Then, too, when recording affairs outside of his studio, he has trouble with uninitia- ted speakers who scream into the mike, or turn their backs unwittingly on the vital little gadget as they ad- dress people behind them. Worst catastrophe occurred during the re- cording of a local play when the mikes, mounted on the footlights, were unable to withstand the heat and the wax lining of the instruments became liquid, replaceable at con- siderable expense. Unit Proposed' On Production For Americas (Continued from Page 1) hemisphere of a multitude of projects; designed to speed war production. 5-That all airlines in the hemi- sphere be operated by bona-fide na- tionals of each country. 6-Assurances that essential im- ports required by various Latin Amer- ican governments will be made avail- able to the extent consistent with each country's defense requirements. 7-Exchange of skilled workers and technical missions so new war in- dustries can be established through- out the continent. 8-Operation of a Pan American statistical union to provide a stand- ard inter-American formula for de- termining the assets and liabilities, financial and economic, of each coun- try. State Department officials, who went over the plan, point by point, after it was divulged earlier today by a commerce department executive, stressed the fact that it is still in the discussion stage and that it may be radically revised before the Rio con- ference acts upon it. Prof. Morize SpeaksToday Lecture To Be Sponsored' By Le Cercle Francais Prof. Andre Morize, professor of French literature at Harvard Univer- sity and director of the Middlebury French Summer School at Middle- bury, Vt., will address members of the University on "La Reconstruction de la France apres 1871" at 4:15 p.m. today in the Rackham Amphitheatre. Given in French, the lecture will be the fourth in the series held annual- ly by the Cercle Francais. Admis- sion will be by season ticket, which may be purchased from the secretary of the romance languages department or at the door at the time of the pro- gram. Prior to the last World War Profes- sor Morize was connected with John Hopkins University. In 1914. he en- listed with the French forces, and upon his return to this country in 1917 he took up his present posi- tion at Harvard. Since his appointment, in 1926, as director of the Middlebury school, Professor Morize's administrative ability has made of it the outstand- ing French school in America. He has recently published a book, "France: Ete 1940," drawn from his observations during the period, at the beginning of the present war, when he served as director of the cabinet at the Commissariat a l'Information in Paris. Alumni In Manila Cut OffBy Siege Siege conditions in the Philippines have prevented communication with one of the many active University of Michigan clubs scattered through- out the world, the Manila chapter. Last message from this club came only a short while ago when Christ- mas greetings, dated Nov. 30, reached President Alexander G. Ruthven and T. Hawley Tapping, general secre- tary of the Alumni Association, from Benito H. Lopez, president of the Manila group. Although Manila is half-way around the globe, it contains a com- paratively large number of Univer- sity graduates. In MCHIGANI By GEORGE SALLADE The present war emergency offers an opportunity to create not only a temporary agreement but a lasting understanding between the Americas, Luiz A. Severo da Costa, Grad., an official of the Brazilian Department of Labor, declared in an interview yesterday. Da Costa is a native of Rio de Jan- eiro and is studying public adminis- tration here. The Americas, he ex- plained, can contribute even more to civilization by the example of their peaceful cooperation than by the fur- nishing of the tools of war with which that civilization can be assured. He recommended a policy of "one for all and all for one" for the Pan American republics. Despite earlier reports of disunity at Rio, da Costa had predicted that the conference would take an anti- Axis stand and had maintained that Argentina would join its fellow re- publics. The Argentine people were essentially democratic, he said. The previous attitude of Argentina was the consequence of the economic situation of that country. Its econ- omy is competitive with that of the United States in many respects. This forces it to depend on European markets. Referring to his own native coun- try of Brazil, da Costa pointed out that it always had been a peace- loving nation and closely tied to this country. Brazilian statesmen have favored collaboration with the United States. Both President Roosevelt and Sec- retary of State Hull are extremely well liked in Brazil, and their "good neighbor" policy has been accepted. Brazil has already collaborated with the United States at the Panama Conference of 1939, in the joint dec- laration of the 21 republics con- demning the German invasion of the Has Anybody Seen Lantz's ThesisLately? As a teaching fellow in the speech department and the assistant min- ister at the First Methodist Church, Edward Lantz, Grad., had always considered himself quite a systematic fellow. But today he is beginning to won- der... For Monday night he lost his 25,000 word masters' thesis, the culmination of two years' constant work. After a Monday night class, Mr. Lantz calmly pllaced his completed thesis, two notebooks and an original play on the curb in front of Angell Hall while he fumbled for his car keys. With happy thoughts in mind about how he was to get his mas- ters' this Spring when he turned in his thesis, he drove to his home at 818 Henry Street. Three hours later he remembered his thesis-on the curb-frantically drove back, but it was gone. If you found it-and are through reading it-Mr. Lantz would like to have it back, please. His phone is 5486. Fletcher To Give Talk Sir Angus Fletcher, retired director of the British Library of Informa- tion, will discuss "The War Uses of Propaganda" at 8:30 p.m. Wednes- day, Feb. 3 in the new Rackham Building in Detroit. LANSING, Jan. 21. --RP)- Michi- gan's passenger tire rationing quota next month will be 2,871, a decrease of more than 1,000 from the January quota, it was announced today by Arthur H. Sarvis, state rationing ad- ministrator. Quota this month was 3,985. Sarvis said the state allotment of passenger tire tubes in February will be 2,403 compared with 3,336 in Jan- uary. Band Group Names Five The 1942 officers of Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary band frater- nity, as elected at yesterday's meeting are Gene Sherry, '42SM, president; Richard Worthington, '42SM, vice- president; George Irwin, '43; secre- tary; Bob Roberts, '43SM, treasurer; and Justin Grey, .'42SM, editor. I State To low countries in 1940 and at the Ha- vana Conference of the same year. Brazil is economically important during the present conflict because of the production of rubber, sugar, coffee and minerals. Although the largest in population and area of all the South American republics, it is the most vulnerable to invasion. If the Axis powers seized the French African port of Dakar, they would be within 1,600 miles of the long, undefended Brazilian coast. Brazil, da Costa insisted however, would fight to the bitter end to re- tain its freedom. Tire Quota Reduced 2,871_For February First Position In Speech Tilt For his delivery of the topic "Hands," Herman Hudson, '45, won the finals speech contest held for the members of the Speech 31 classes yesterday in the Natural Science Auditorium. Bennett Yanowitz, '44, took second place for his speech entitled "After the War, What?" and Mervin Pregul- man, '44, captured third position for his delivery of the speech "The Red Cross." The other contestants and their addresses were Tracy Freeman, '44, Why I Came to Michigan"; John McCarthy, '44, "Football in 1942"; and John Muehl, '44 "Faces." Members of the Speech Depart- ment were the judges at this meet. They were Dr. Arthur Secord, chair- man, Prof. H. Harlan Bloomer, Prof. Louis M. Eich, and Hugh Norton,. The six contestants taking part, were chosen from a preliminary con- test held last Monday. At that time, they delivered three minute speeches, but in yesterday's meet the time was lengthened to five minutes. Since this contest was composed of extemporaneous speeches, it served as an experiment for the faculty of the Speech Department. If this one is considered a success, other con- tests of the same type will be held I some time in the future.
